In this step, you will define what your Agent Copilot can do by configuring Tasks and Skills. Tasks are collections of actions your Copilot performs in specific scenarios, while skills are the building blocks of those tasks—essentially, individual micro-capabilities like fetching data or processing text. 

Click the ‘View’ button inside Step 2 and start defining tasks, then proceed to create or manage the required skills. 

Create a Task 

Tasks define the context-specific actions your Copilot will perform. You can create a task from scratch or use existing templates. This section walks you through creating a task manually.  

Follow these steps to create a Task from scratch: 

1. On the Tasks Manager screen, click the Add Task button in the top-right corner. The New Task screen opens. 
   
   

2. In the Task Description section, fill in the following fields: 

• Name: Enter a descriptive name for the task. 

• Task Category: Specify a category to help organize tasks. 

• Description: Provide a summary of the task's purpose. 

• Proactive Mode: Enable this option to make this task proactive. The entire proactive setup will require further configuration depending on the use case. 
   

3. In the Define Task section, click Add Prompt to define how the Copilot should execute the task. 

• You can select an existing prompt from Saved Prompts or the Custom Library or create a new one. 

4. To create a custom prompt: 

• Click Create Prompt. 

• In the New Prompt section, enter the following: 

• Name: Give your prompt a recognizable name. 

• Prompt: Define the action in natural language and use @ to reference relevant skills. Use variable button (${x}) to add Case, User or Profile level entities while configuring prompts.

• Save in Library (Optional): Select this checkbox to make the prompt available for future reuse. 

• Click Save to save the prompt. 

5. You can add multiple prompts by selecting Add Prompt again. 

6. After configuring the task description and prompts, click Save to finalize the task. 

Supported Entities in Task Prompt Configuration

These entities can be dynamically referenced using placeholders while configuring task prompts to provide contextual and personalized AI responses.

Use the variable button to open Resource Manager and use the entity based resources as per your requirement.

• Case Standard Properties (${case_standard_properties})

  Refers to default case attributes such as Case ID, Status, Priority, and Channel. Useful for tailoring responses based on the case metadata.

• Case Properties (${case_properties})

  Includes both standard and custom properties configured on the case. These may involve category, sentiment, or SLA breach status—enabling context-driven prompts.

• Case Conversation (${case_conversation})
  Represents the full conversation thread between the customer and the agent. This allows the Copilot to analyze previous messages and provide relevant follow-ups.

• Case Notes (${case_notes})
  Captures internal notes added by agents. These notes can guide the Copilot in understanding prior agent actions or instructions.

• Associated Cases (${associated_case_details})
  Refers to linked cases such as duplicates, child/parent cases, or escalation threads—providing a holistic view of the issue for accurate resolution prompts.

• Fan Custom Fields (${fan_profile})

  Includes customer-specific attributes like name, preferences, past purchases, or tier level. These enrich the prompt with user-specific context.

• User Text (${user_text})

  The most recent customer message. Helps generate real-time, direct responses to customer queries.

• User Platform Language (${user_locale})

  Detects the language of the customer’s platform or profile. Enables multilingual response generation or translation.

• Previous Suggestions (${previous_suggestions})

  Refers to earlier recommendations made by the Copilot in the same session. Ensures consistency and avoids repetition.

Add or Manage Skills 

Skills are reusable micro-actions that power your Copilot's capabilities. Each skill can be used independently or combined within tasks to create complex workflows. 

To add a new skill: 

1. On the Tasks Manager screen, click View Skills under the Skills section. The Skills Manager screen opens. 

2. Click Add Skill in the top-right corner. 

3. From the Category dropdown, choose the appropriate category for the skill you want to create. Available categories include: 

• Macro

• Update Properties 

• Composite 

• API 

• FAQ 

​

After creating skills, you can reference them in prompts using the @ symbol during task configuration. 

By defining well-structured tasks and granular skills, you empower your Agent Copilot to handle a variety of complex customer interactions with speed and accuracy.
